Market Turmoil

The markets are in turmoil. The Bailout is in effect. What should we do? First, stay calm. Your Portfolio allocation was determined with the knowledge that difficult times would come again. Here they are. We will address these issues more fully in our upcoming newsletter. In the meantime, we want to share the audio presentation below. It is about 15 minutes long and a little technical in the beginning, but the presenter does a good job of putting things in perspective if you stick with it.

We have experienced a lot of volatility and uncertainty the past few months and are now witnessing things we have not seen in many years. We understand the strain this puts on everyone and the temptation to abandon the long-term investment plan we have in place. It's important, however, to keep things in perspective in times like these. We hope the presentation helps.
